The paper discusses the application of tissue repair promoters, especially growth factors, in the rehabilitation of sports muscle strain. The paper describes a randomized, single-blind, parallel design study that compares the effects of platelet-derived growth factor, nerve growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor on the recovery of exercise-induced muscle strain. The study outcomes include pain intensity, functional recovery, muscle strength recovery and ultrasonic image. The paper reports that all three types of growth factors can significantly improve the recovery of exercise-induced muscle strain compared with the control group, and hepatocyte growth factor has the best effect. The paper also discusses the selection, dosage, release mode and safety of growth factors, and suggests further research directions.
